I heard those Marquee 8500 was like a dream, I considered bying one when i was on the hunt for a new projector (either that or the BG 808). But due to space and noise-level I ended up with an LCD projector, the Panasonic AE-300.
I envy all of you that have the pleasure of owning a CRT based projector, especially those who get to work for Barco
Maybe this isent the right time or place to discuss this, sorry BabbaBing.
